Fiction Writing summer workshop for high school teens.

Fiction students explore plot, character, voice, style, and point of view. Students collaborate to write a short story as well as work on independent projects. Work is inspired by writing exercises and prompts, and then revised based on individual conversation with the instructors. Students share their writing in class, at our weekly open readings, and in a class anthology published at the end of each session.
